Life

Garza Galán was elected governor of Coahuila in 1885 and served until 1889. Through his position, he amassed wealth and power, to the frustration of businessmen in the state.[2] President Porfirio Díaz appointed him to another term as governor in 1893, but Venustiano Carranza organized a militia and revolted. Carranza's rebellion was successful, and Díaz sent Bernardo Reyes to negotiate with Carranza, which resulted in Garza Galán ending his candidacy.[3][4]
